Volunteerism has
become an integral part of society, affecting youth and adult volunteers,
nonprofits and businesses at large. April has become the month for volunteer
recognition with the nominations of the Mayors Day of Recognition of National
Service, National Volunteer Week, and Global Youth Service Day. Additionally,
volunteerism will be celebrated locally at the Mayors’ Volunteer and Top Teen
Awards. The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley is the lead agency for these April
events.
To spotlight the impact of national service and thank those who serve, mayors and country officials will participate in the fifth annual National Service Recognition Day on April 3, 2018.
National Volunteer Week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It’s about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals.
This year National Volunteer Week’s theme, Celebrate Service, presents an opportunity for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations and government entities alike to celebrate the ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things through service April 15 – 21.
Each year, millions of youth around the world work together with schools, youth organizations, nonprofits, community and faith-based organizations, volunteer and national service programs, government agencies, faith communities, and other individuals to address critical issues and change their communities on Global Youth Service Day.
Global Youth Service Day is held during the last weekend of National Volunteer Week on April 20 – 22. Through programs such as this, youth volunteers are recognized for the tremendous impact they are making on our country's most critical challenges year-round.
Locally, the Mayors’ Volunteer Awards honor the exemplary contributions of individuals ages 19 and older who dedicate their time and talent to volunteerism in Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Evansdale and surrounding communities in Black Hawk County.
The Mayors’ Top Teen Awards honor youth ages 13-18 attending a school in Black Hawk County. The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa also selects one junior from each of the accredited high schools in Black Hawk County to receive the $1000 Mother Moon Service Scholarship.
This year, the Mayors’ Volunteer and Top Teen Award recipients will be recognized at special events on May 1.
